TIL : Clearing void floor 5 makes all mobs in nefias scale up the way the void does

Without clearing void 5, only nefias at level 200+ will have mobs scale up to the danger level, so you can do a level 150 nefia and putits will still be level 1.

After clearing void floor 5, all nefias will have mobs scale up to the danger level like its the void. So if you cant handle a spiral king with up to +200 levels, you shouldnt do the void, because one can spawn on any floor of a nefia run and ruin your run. And its not just the risk of a random one shot from a high level spiral king, its that all mobs get inflated HP pools and do not give increased xp or loot.

Before clearing void 5, i was in a good spot and could clear any nefia below 200 unless it had a spiral king boss. It was also very fast, since mobs did not scale, i could just rush straight to the stairs and 1-2 shot almost everything in my way, or look for a shrine/statue/big daddy.

After clearing void 5, nefias got much slower. All mobs now have thousands of hp in the nefias i run and i could run into a level 200 spiral king on any floor which can one shot me.

Of course i can sell my fame and do lower level nefias, but i would be getting much worse loot. Instead of speed running level 150-199 nefias, i would have to run level 100 or lower nefias and get worse loot, and i still run the risk of running into a high level spiral king ruining my day.

The fundamental problem is that non-bosses being scaled up to the danger level do not drop better loot or give more xp to compensate for the added difficulty. A level 200 non-boss spiral king isnt going to drop loot worth 100k+, its going to drop offal or nothing. Maybe a corpse if you get really lucky. Thats why the meta for nefias is to rush straight for shrines, statues, big daddies and the boss chest...because regular mobs whether they are base level or scaled up to level 200 are a waste of time. Thats a huge flaw of the game because there is no reward for fighting level 200 mobs with tons of hp.

And yes, i am aware that you can spam teleport to try and get to the stairs without fighting, but this is a really weird way to clear a dungeon imho, and still entirely dependent on RNG.
